Well, I'm pleased to report that things are looking better today re: my atapi problems. I still have a broken CD burner on acd1, it looks like, but at least things are looking more normal now at boot time . Both atapi devices are being properly recognized once again and assigned to their correct positions, and the acd0 device is functioning properly (which it wasn't for a while). It seems that part of the problem was that I was trying to force DMA on in /boot/loader.conf. After upgrading the world today, I was still encountering pretty much the same problems as before, until I changed hw.ata.atapi_dma to 0. Then the system finally came up normally. I do intend to replace the broken drive Real Soon Now. After I do, I'll post another followup report. Thanks for your interest, Soren; I do appreciate it. Sorry for not following up sooner; I got sidetracked with a few other things the last couple of days. :-) -- Conrad Sabatier <conrads_at_cox.net> - "In Unix veritas"Received on Thu Jun 03 2004 - 10:41:44 UTC
